WIRELESS NETWORK PENETRATION TESTING
Wireless network penetration testing: your Wi-Fi reaches beyond the office walls
Wireless network testing performed on-site by OSCP-certified pentesters. Encryption, enterprise authentication, the split between guest and corporate networks and resistance to a rogue access point.
WHY IT MATTERS
You do not need to enter the building to reach the Wi-Fi
A wireless signal does not stop at the walls. An attacker from the car park or a neighboring unit can try to crack the encryption or stand up their own access point to capture employee credentials.
A real example: the guest network was not genuinely separated from the corporate one, so after connecting to guest Wi-Fi an attacker could reach internal systems. From an attacker’s perspective, that is a way into the network without crossing the company’s threshold.
WHAT WE CHECK
From encryption to network segmentation
We perform the tests on-site, within range of the tested network.
OUR APPROACH
We test the network the way an attacker at the door would
We check not just the encryption itself, but the whole path: how authentication works, whether networks are genuinely separated and how employee devices behave. That, not password strength, is where most of the real risk hides.
We work on-site, within range of the network, to PTES. We confirm every finding in practice, for example by showing traffic capture or a jump from the guest to the corporate network, not just a theoretical vulnerability.
COMPLIANCE
Part of network access control
Wireless network security is part of the access control required by regulations and standards.
STANDARDS & CERTIFICATIONS
We work to recognized methodologies, not gut feeling
Every project is run by certified pentesters and based on public standards. That makes the result repeatable, auditable and comparable across vendors.
We share the full list of certifications and standards on request, together with a sample test scope.
HOW WE DO IT
A repeatable process based on PTES
EVIDENCE
Numbers behind every promise
Every test is run by certified pentesters, and we document the result with reproduction steps, evidence and a verified remediation path. Proof, not a promise.
KNOWLEDGE
Wireless network penetration testing in practice
Why Wi-Fi is an often overlooked risk
A wireless network reaches beyond the walls of the building, so an attacker does not have to come inside to try to get onto it. It is enough for them to be in range, for example in the car park or a neighbouring unit.
Wi-Fi is often treated as a convenience rather than part of the attack surface, and so it is often poorly configured. The test shows whether your wireless network is not a quiet, open gateway to the rest of the infrastructure.
What we check in a Wi-Fi test
We analyze the network configuration, authentication and encryption methods, and the separation between the guest and corporate networks. We check whether someone in range can eavesdrop on traffic, join the network or move on from it, deeper into the infrastructure.
We also test susceptibility to rogue access points and attacks on weak or shared passwords. These are the typical routes by which an attacker turns Wi-Fi access into access to internal systems.
Why poor separation is the most dangerous
The greatest risk appears when the wireless network gives access to the same resources as the wired one. Then someone who breaks Wi-Fi is immediately inside, bypassing the whole perimeter.
So we look not only at the strength of encryption but at where the network leads once you are logged in. A well-separated guest network can turn a serious incident into a triviality.
What you get and when to test
The report describes the weaknesses found with evidence, a risk rating and concrete recommendations on configuration, authentication and network separation. We point out which changes reduce real risk the fastest.
A Wi-Fi test is worth running after deploying or changing wireless infrastructure, opening a new location and periodically. We often combine it with an internal network test, because for an attacker these are simply two routes to the same goal.
